    Hello, Hoping someone here can shed some light on this problem I am having in MDT 2013 in Task Sequence.

    I am deploying Windows 2008 R2 OS using MDT 2013. I have a vbscript that I run in State Restore phase in the Task Sequence which essentially edits registry using following lines:

    sRegKey="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoTrayItemsDisplay"
    sNewRegValue = 1
        
    sRegValue=oUtility.RegWrite(sregkey, sNewRegValue)

    However, It fails with error: 

    FAILURE (Err): -2147024891  0x80070005: Invalid root in registry key 

    However, when I run same script manually on the Server, it runs fine.

    Thanks in Advance.

    After I moved my vbscript task further down in State Restore section after "Restore Groups", It seemed to have worked. I don't know why but now it finishes without any errors.

    Thanks,

    The error code -2147024891 equals to 0x80070005 (Access denied). In general, it is caused by the insufficient privileges.

    I tested your script and run it from task sequence. No errors and it did write the key to registry.

    How you run it from task sequence?

    Thanks for your response.

    I run vbscript in "State Restore Phase" of Task Sequence using "Run Command Line". The command line is "cscript %scriptroot%\myscript.wsf"


    The lines in my vbscript are:

        On Error Resume Next
        Dim sRegKey,sNewRegValue,sRegValue  
                
        sRegKey="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoTrayItemsDisplay"
        sNewRegValue = 1
        
        sRegValue=oUtility.RegWrite(sregkey, sNewRegValue)
        
            If Err.Number <> 0 Then
            oLogging.CreateEntry "Error in procedure Disable_Icons -" & Err.Description,LogTypeInfo
            Else
            oLogging.CreateEntry "Disabling Icons",LogTypeInfo
            End If

    On Error Goto 0
